Finally, the fruits of my labor can be shown! This thing took me forever to film right. Tried lots of new techniques and individually chose each camera settings for when I switched panels, etc. Up until now I only used one camera angle and one setting, but here you can actually see some close up shots of me doing smaller details. 

My hands are still in the way a bit but this is a big improvement over videos I've posted previously, and this is likely how I will do videos in the future. But because it takes me so long to edit and trim, etc etc, I will definitely only do this about once a month. 

This video also needs to act as a form of advertisement for me since I have cons and Kickstarters coming up, so I think for the first time ever this is available to everyone. Now people who are in lower tiers will get a feel for what my videos will look like for mid-upper tiers.

Compressed five hours of work time into just under 50 minutes. 

For the next video I can do either pencils or screen tone... which would you guys like to see?

I 100% approve of this music.

I'd like to see screentone first, then pencils. Also is it possible to achieve same inking effects with brush? I've got wrist injury and nib inking is painful for me. However, I can brush ink without too many problems.

I was wondering if you could do a scannig tutorial too - I'm not intirely sure how to scan screentoned pages for web without screwing it up big time.

Thing is, it's the pressing down/resistance of the nib I'm having a problem with, so I actually can't vary the line thickness without being in pain. I still use them for thinnest lines (like the ones on hair), but everywhere else I'm pretty much using a brush. I did find out their limitations, but I can work with them for most of the picture... and don't have to take few days break afterwards. I'd still prefer nibs, but... c'est la vie. Maybe someday my wrist will be well enough to do a full picture nib inking. Yes, I did try adjusting my working position - now I have tiltable table and only draw with a brace on. It was a tremendous help - in the past there were times I couldn't even make myself some tea... or sleep. Had to give up drawing for years with that. The worst thing is it's still not even diagnosed *insert a rant about how shit my local healthcare is*. >.> I'm just not sure if brushes are a fair trade off drawing-wise, but I probably could adapt if it means that my condition is not getting worse with them.
